THEY INCREASE THE NUTRITIVE QUALITIES OF PLOUR. 

BARON LIEBIG, the world-renowned German Chemist, said: "I have, through a great se- 
ries of experiments, satisliad myself of the purity and excellence of your Baking Preparations. 
The bread has no acid, is easily digested, and of tlie best taste. Aside from the conveniences this 
invaluable idea of yours lias pr.ivided, I consider this invention as one of the most useful gifts 
which science has made to mankind! It is cerlaiii that the nutritive value, of flour is increased ten 
per cent, b.i/ your Phosphatic Baking Preparationa, and the result is precisely the same as if the fertil- 
ity of our toheat fields had been increased by th%t amiunl. Wh%t a wonderful result is this." 

MAINTAIN HEALTH. 

Dr. SAMUEL JACKSON, late Professor iu the University of Pennsylvania, said: "Your 
preparations while they make a light, sweet, nutritious and palatable bread, restore the phosphates 
which h.ad lieon separated from the flour, and thus are adapted as an aliment for the maintenance 
of a healthj- state of tlie organization."

INTRODUCTION. 



This book coiitaius elegant patterns in wide and narrow Laces, Tidies, 
Quilts, etc. They have all been tested by an experienced knitter. The 
materials used are — Nos. 100, 90, 80, 70, 50, 40, Marshall's Linen Thread 
or Common Spool Cotton, also Knitting Silk which comes in half ounce 
balls, all shades. 

Fine Saxon}- Yarn, done with coarse sock needles, makes a ver}- pretty 
edging. 

From the earliest age women employed themselves with needle-work in 
ever}' variety, and we still see specimens of old-time embroidery and lace 
work, which are marvels not only of skill but of patience, and there is no 
occupation so feminine, at the same time so ladylike, as needlework in 
every branch, from the plain sewing to the exquisite daint}- fanc}' work that 
adds beaut}' to every room. 

Knitting has so many advantages that it is hard to enumerate them. No 
machine work has yet reached the perfection of hand-knit articles. Fash- 
ion's caprices, while constantly suggesting new stitches, leave the old ones 
always in use. 

The following directions will aid in knitting the various patterns contained 
in this book. 

TERMS USED IN KNITTING. 

To cast 071 — Make a loop in your thread, and place it on the needle in 
3'our left hand ; when, with your right hand needle, knit this stitch ; repeat 
this until the desired number of stitches have been made. 

To increase — 'If one stitch only is to be increased, bring the thread be- 
tween the needles and knit the following stitch; this will make an open 
stitch or hole in the following row. If a close increase is to be made, pick 
up the loop below the next stitch to be knitted, and knit it. To increase 
one stitch when the row is being seamed the thread will be in front of the 
needle ; pass it quite around the needle to the front again. 

To decrease — Lf one stitch onl}' is to be decreased, knit two stitches to- 
gether as one ; if two stitches are to be decreased, slip one, knit two 
together, pass the slipped stitch over the two knit together. 



4 RULES FOR KNITTING. 

To fasten on — Twist the two ends of thread together, and knit a few 
stitches with both. 

To pick up a stitch — With the left hand needle pick up the loop below 
the next stitch to be knitted, knit it, and pass it to the other needle. 

To slip) a stitch — Is merely" to pass a stitch from the left-hand needle to 
the right-hand needle, without knitting it. 

To seam a stitch — Insert the needle in the stitch to be seamed, with the 
point towards j'ou. Pass the thread quite around the needle ; take the 
needle with thread on it out at the back. 

To narrovj — Means knit two stitches together. 

t over 1 — Means wind thread around needle once, thus making an extra 
stitch. 

t over 2 — Means wind thread around needle twice, thus making two extra 
stitches. 

t over 3 — Means wind thread around needle three times, making three 
extra stitches. 

t over 4 — Means wind thread around needle four times, making four 
extra stitches. 

3 together — Means knit three stitches togethei- as one stitch. 

Part I— Wide Laces. 



"Attempt the end, and never stand in donbt; 
Nothing's so hard but search will find it out." 

—Herrick.

RULES FOR KNITTING. 47 

Part VI— Rules for Stockings, Mittens, Etc. 



Gentlenien's Socks. 

The best sized needle is No. 16, steel. 

Cast 28 stitches on the first needle, and 24 on each of the other two. 

1st Row — Seam 2, 2 plain, repeat all round. Knit 30 rounds of this, 
same. 31st — Seam 1, knit the remainder plain right round needles. Knit 
85 r()ws like this. 

For the heel take 18 stitches on each side the seam, and knit alternately 
plain and seamed — plain when the right side is towards 3'ou , and the seamed 
when the wrong side. Now knit 30 of these rows, then take 4 stitches each 
side the seamstitch and place the stitches on each side of these onto sepa- 
rate needles, the centre stitch to be knit plain and seamed alternately- ; and 
at the end of each row knit 2 stitches together from the sides till there are 
17 stitches on the centre needle; * and with the last stitch of each row- 
take 1 stitch from the sides and knit it together with the last as one ; when 
all are knitted off, take up 18 stitches dow-n each side of the heel, knit a 
plain row ; next row narrow by knitting 2 stitches together on each side of 
the foot ; lepeat from * 5 rows more, * knit 2 plain rows in the next, nar- 
row 1 stitch on each side of the foot, repeat from last * 3 row^fe more, knit 
64 plain rows, divide the stitches for the toe, narrow on each side of 4 
stitches on each side of the foot in ever}- alternate row until onl}- 20 
stitches remain, place them on 2 needles, half on each, fold them together, 
bind off. 



Ladies' Knitted Silk Stockings. 

Materials required, 3 1-2 ounces of coarse knitting silk, 4 steel needles 
No. 18. 

Cast 49 stitches on each of 3 needles. Knit plain 21 rounds. 

22d Round — t over 1, knit 3 together, alternately all round. 

23d — 1 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, alternatel}- all round. 

In the next round seam the centre stitch of the last needle; this forms 
the seam and is seamed in every round. (A piece of yarn or cotton tied 
where the seam-stitch comes will aid the knitter.) Knit 11 inches, or 230 
rounds plain, then commence lo narrow for the ankle. This is done bv 
knitting 2 stitches together before, and 2 after, the seam in every 7th round, 
lor 17 rounds ; this brings the number of stitches to 113. 

Knit 3 inches plain for ankle without increase or decrease. 

Divide the stitches for the heel, placing 28 on each side the seam, and 



48 RULES FOR KNITTING. 

leaving 56 on the two front needles. On the heel stitches knit 48 rows, 1 
row plain, when the right side is towards you, and 1 row seamed when 
from 30U. 

Knit the gusset for the heel as follows : 29 stitches plain, narrow, turn, 
seam 3, seam 2 together, turn, 5 plain, narrow, turn ; repeat until all the 
side stitches are taken in. Now with another needle pick up the stitches 
on each side of the heel. Knit all around once to the right-hand side of the 
heel. To decrease to form the gusset of the foot, knit 1st stitch plain, slip 
the 2d, 3d st'tch plain, pass the slipped stitch over knitted one, knit to 
within 3 stitches of the end of the next needle, then slip 1, 1 plain, pass 
slipped stitch over, knit last one plain. Knit a plain row between ever}' 
decrease. 

Continue to decrease in this way until there are only 113 stitches remain- 
ing. Knit plain 88 rounds for the foot, or about 4 1-4 inches. Then de- 
crease for toe as follows : Arrange the stitches so that the number of 
stitches ou the front needle is equal to those of the two under needles, to- 
gether ; knit 1st stitch plain, slip the 2d, 3d plain, pass slipped stitch over, 
knit plain across to within 3 stitches of the end of the needle, slip the next 
stitch, 1 plain, pass the slipped stitch over, knit last one plain ; decrease 
the same at the beginning of the 2d and at the end of the 3d needle. Con- 
tinue thus with a plain round between until onl}- 20 stitches remain. Now 
bind off. The top of the stocking is turned down an inch and neatly 
hemmed on wrong side. The instep may be embroidered, if wished, with 
silks of contrasting shades. 



Gents' Ribbed Silk Hose. 

Materials required, 2 1-2 ounces coarse knitting silk in any shade; 1-2 
ounce different shade for heels and toes ; 4 No. 19 steel needles. 

Cast 114 stitches on 3 needles. Knit around once plain, then knit I'ibs 
by knitting 2 plain, 1 seam, all round for about 60 rounds, which will meas- 
ure about 3 inches; then knit ribs, 5 stitches plain, 1 seam all round, till 
3'ou have 6 1-2 inches wide ribs. 

Commence heel b}' putting in your 1-2 ounce shade, on one needle 59 
stitches, preserving the ribs 5 plain, seam 1. across the needle, returning 
seam 5, 1 plain ; alwa^'s slip the 1st stitch. Knit 60 rows like this. Now 
deciease as follows : 61st row — (5 plain, seam 1,) 3 times, 4 plain, slip 1, 
1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 11 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch 
over, 4 plain, (seam 1, 5 plain,) 3 times. Return, knitting seamed stitch- 
es plain and plain stitches seamed ; do tiiis in every backward row, forward 
rows plain. 

63d — (5 plain, seam 1,) 3 times, 3 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped

stitch over, 11 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 3 plain, (seam 
1, 5 plain,) 3 times. 

6otli — (5 plain, seam 1,) 3 times, 2 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, jjull slipped 
stitch over, 11 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 2 plain, (seam 
1, 5 plain,) 3 times. 

67th — (5 plain, seam 1,) 3 times, 1 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped 
stitch over, 11 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 1 plain, (seam 
1, 5 plain,) 3 times. 

69th — (5 plain, seam 1,) 3 times, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 
11 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, (seam 1, 5 plain,) 3 times. 

70th — After seaming the 11 middle stitches, turn, knit back, knitting the 
last stitch of the 11, with the one next it together; proceed in rows, knit- 
ting plain and seaming, but at the end of each row knit together the last 
stitch of the tongue, or middle part, with the first of the adjoining side 
stitches, till the side stitches have been used up. This forms the French 
heel. Now with the shade of silk you started with, pick up and knit towards 
the left, 1 stitch in each loop on the side of heel, except in every 6th loop, 
where 2 stitches should be worked — plain and twist stitch. 

The stitches being all picked up, knit 1 round, placing the whole of the 
instep stitches on one needle (seaming and knitting plain these to preserve 
7 ribs), save 2 stitches each end, which are transferred to the two side nee- 
dles, on which the other stitches are equallj' placed, the division being at 
the middle of the bottom of the foot. From this point the knitting ad- 
vances regularly round and round. The narrowing for the gusset is al- 
ways made on the instep end of each of the side needles. 

1st Round — Beginning at the centre of the heel with the first side needle, 
knit plain till within 4 stitches of the end, then narrow, 2 plain. Knit 
across the instep needle, seaming the 8 stitches which make the 7 ribs, viz. 
— 1 before, 1 between, 1 after, each row of 5, This brings you to the 
second side needle: 2 plain, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, rest 
plain. 2d round — Without decreasing. Repeat these two rounds till there 
are 114 stitches on the needles. The gussets are then finished. 

Put back on the instep needle each end, 2 stitches from the side needles. 
Continue knitting till the required length of foot is obtained, the instep 
stitches being ribbed till the narrowing of the toe begins, which is knit 
plain. Change color of silk for toe like that of heel. Commence middle 
of instep needle. Knit all but 3 stitches, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch 
over, 1 plain ; on next needle, 1 plain, narrow, knit plain until 3 are left ; 
slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 1 plain; at first corner of instep 
needle, 1 plain narrow, knit to middle of needle. This completes the first 
round of decreasing for toe. Knit plain 3 rounds, then, decrease in next 
round as before. Knit plain 3 rounds, then decrease as before, and so on 
to end. 



50 RULES FOR KNITTING. 

Railroad Stockings. 

4 balls coarse knitting silk. 

Cast 96 stitches on 3 medium-sized needles, 30 on each of two needles, 
36 on third. 

Knit round and round without increase or decrease till you have a long 
slim pipe 18 inches long. It will be hardly large enough for a wristlet, and 
a laughable looking thing when styled a stocking, but now knit round one 
row, and drop every 4th stitch (knit 3 plain and drop the 4th). This 
makes the pipe 24 stitches smaller. Now knit round about 20 times, and 
then toe off. No heel is necessary. Put your finger in the stocking against 
the under part of a dropped stitch, and ravel it out to the top. Make 
every dropped stitch so run ; you will instantly have a striped openwork 
stocking elastic enough for the largest leg. The dropped stitch makes a 
little ladder, as pretty as any openwork design. It is a poor foot, indeed, 
that won't find the Railroad Stocking as nice as the best " regular make." 



Knitted Stockings for Girls from 5 to 7 Years. 

Cast on 50 stitches on each of 3 needles. 

1st to 10th Round — All knit plain. 

11th — Alternately t over 1, narrow, all round. 12th— All knit plain. 

13th to 20th — First like 11th row, then like 12th row, all round. 

21st — Fold down the first 12 rounds on the wrong side for hem, sew down 
nicely. 

22d — *1 plain, t over 1, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 3 plain, 
narrow, t over 1, and repeat from *. 

23d — 2 plain,* t over 1, slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, 1 plain, 
narrow, t over 1, 3 plain, and repeat from *, but finallj' instead of 3 plain, 
knit only 1 plain. 

24th — 3 plain,* t over 1, slip 1: narrow, pull slipped stitch over, t over 
1, 5 phxiu, and repeat from *, but finally instead of 5 plain, knit 2 plain. 

25th — All knit plain. 

Repeat 72 times the 22d and 25th rounds, always transposing the design. 
For the curve at the knee work 38 inserted rounds between the 18th and 
19th pattern figures on the middle 42 stitches, which are taken up on a 
separate needle. Of course the rounds worked on the wrong side should 
always be seamed to correspond with the design, and at the end of each 
round the nest of the stitches left standing in the course of the inserted 
rounds should always be knit up, so that finally only 42 stitches remain 
standing. Then continue to work, always going forward, and in-the 1st 
round of the 20th pattern figure fasten together the middle 14 of the 42 



RULES FOR KNITTING. 51 

stitches previously left standing with 1 stitch, and, after an interval of 14 
rounds before and after these 14 stitches, again fasten together 14 stitches 
in the same manner. It the 1st round of the 33d pattern figure, above 
these three narrowings, widen 28 stitches, making 54 stitches on 28 stitches 
there. At the beginning of the 1st round of the 57th and 59th pattern fig-

shells on the back and are read}' to begin another. Then take off the 
thumb stitches, the 27 stitches you have made, and the seamed and knit 
stitches each side, 31 in all. This will be the rule for that row. 3 plain

Thumb — The thumb is knit plain. 

Take up the 31 stitches, 15 on one needle, 16 on the other. With the 
third needle take up stitches across the widened part of the hand, one for 
each loop, and one each side, 14 in all. Knit round plain once, then be- 
gin to narrow on the third needle, slipping and binding each side of the 
needle once ; then a plain row, then narrow as before, plain row, etc. 
After knitting a few rows slip off some stitches from the other needles to 
the third, and continue narrowing till there are only 32 stitches left — 11 on 
two needles, 10 on one. That makes the gore for the thumb. Now knit 
plain till the thumb is long enough to come a little above the bottom of 
the thumb nail when tr3'ing it on. Then narrow once in the centre of each 
needle, knit round plain once, then narrow all off', by narrowing once in 
the middle of each needle till none remain. This will make the left-hand 
mitten. In starting the hand part of the other, make the first needle the 
plain one that forms the palm, and follow round backward. 



Ladies' Fancy Silk Mittens. 

Materials required, 1 ounce coarse knitting silk, and 5 No. 19 knitting 
needles.

As 4 rounds are required to complete each shell pattern, the 6th, 7th, 
8th and 9tli rounds are a repetition of the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th rounds in 
the order named. This shell is repeated in the mitten shown in above 
figure 17 times, but if a larger wrist is desired more shells can be added at 
pleasure. The twist pattern shown in the centre of the back is continued, 
as follows : 



RULES FOR KNITTING. 59 

10th and 11th — Same as 2d and 3d rounds. 

In the 12th round the last 10 stitches are disposed of in the following- 
manner : Slip off the first 4 stitches onto an extra needle, knit the next 4 
plain, then put back the 4 stitches onto the left-hand needle, and with the 
right knit them plain, and seam the 2 stitches remaining. This operation 
must be repeated in ever}- 12th round to narrowing. One shell stripe each 
side of twist continued to narrowing. 

In commencing the thumb the stitches for this purpose must be so chosen 
as to bring the fancy work on back of mitten as near as possible to the cen- 
tre of tlie same. In the right-hand mitten the thumb is on the left-hand 
side of fanc}- work, and in the left-hand mitten the reverse. When 3'ou 
have 27 stitches in thumb, knit 3 rounds plain (except fancy back), and at 
the end of the third plain round cast on 4 extra stitches. Now slip the 27 
thumb stitches on a piece of twine, tie securely, and with remaining stitches 
continue the hand narrowing in each round once at the point where extra 
stitches were made until 74 stitches remain. Continue knitting plain (ex- 
cept fancy stripe on the back) until the mitten is the length of the middle 
finger. 

Now commence to narrow. 7 plain, narrow, all round. 7 plain rows. 
6 plain, narrow, all round. 6 plain rows. .") plain, narrow, all round. 
plain rows. 4 plain, narrow, all round. 4 plain rows. 

Now narrow once on each needle in ever}' round until onh' 4 stitches are 
left on a needle, then narrow twice on each needle and bind off. When de- 
creasing, once on each middle needle only ; do not narrow at same point 
in every round, but at different place in each successive round. 

To finish the thumb place the 27 stitches on three needles and pick up 4 
stitches from the base of gore formed between the hand and thumb by cast- 
ing on 4 extra stitches, knit once round plain, and narrow once in each 
of the next 4 rounds at the point where the gore is, then knit 50 rounds 
plain and finish by narrowing once on each needle in every round, until all 
the stitches are disposed of.

a needle, seam 1, t over 1, 1 plain, t over 1, seam 1. Knit plain (alwavs 
seaming the seam-stitch), and ever\- 6th or 7th row make a stitch inside the 
seam-stitch as directed, until there are as man}- stitches between .the seain 
as there are on the other needle, that is, 26. Slip these stitches oflT onto a 
thread ; tie the end. 



6o RULES FOR KNITTING. 

Cast on 8 stitches between the seams and knit round plain till the mit- 
ten reaches the nails of the second finger, then narrow at the beginning of 
each needle. Knit 4 rows without narrowing. Narrow, and knit 3 plain 
rows ; narrow, and knit 2 rows plain ; narrow, and knit 1 row ; then nar- 
row every time till all the stitches but 2 are knit. Draw the end of the silk 
through these stitches and fasten securely. A fine darning needle is the 
best thing to do it with. 

For the thumb take the stitches off the thread and take up the 8 made 
between the seams. Knit once round plain ; then narrow the made stitch 
every time round till they are all taken up ; then knit round and round till 
the thumb is long enough. Narrow it off by narrowing at beginning of each 
needle till finished. 



Ladies' Fancy Mittens. 

1 ounce of knitting silk and 4 No. 18 or 19 knitting needles. 

Cast on 132 stitches on these needles, placing 48 on each of two needles 
and 36 on third. 

1st Round — Knit round plain. 

2d — 1 plain,* t over 1, 1 plain, t over 1, 1 plain,* repeat from * 8 times, 
seam 3 stitches. Commence next shell b}' 1 plain,* t over 1, 1 plain,* re- 
peating from * to * 8 times, seam 3. Continue making shells and seaming 
3, till once round, when there will be 11 shells started. 

3d, 4th, 5th and 6th — Slip 1, 1 plain, pull slipped stitch over, and nar- 
row last 2 stitches of each shell, knitting stitches between plain, alwa^'s 
seaming the 3 stitches separating the shells. There are now 9 stitches in 
every shell. 

7th— Like the 2d. 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th— Like 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th. 

Repeat these 5 rounds till you have 3 rows of shells with 8 holes in each ; 
b}' narrowing the next round you have 6 holes in a shell. Repeat the 5 
rounds ; the next time by narrowing j'ou have 4 holes in a shell. In like 
manner narrow the shells to 3 stitches in each, which leaves you 3 seams 
alternating with 3 plain to start on wrist, which knit in ribs from one to 
two inches long, as you please. 

Thumb and shells for back of hand — Seam 3, 1 plain, t over 1, 1 plain, 
t over 1, 1 plain, seam 3. 

This sets the thumb. Now 1 plain, then (t over 1, 1 plain,) 7 times, 
seam 3, 1 plain, then (t over 1, 1 plain,) 7 times, seam 3, 1 plain, then 
(t over 1, 1 plain,) 7 times, seam 3. 

This starts 3 shells for back of hand ; knit plain the rest of the round 
till you reach the thumb; here 1 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, 
seam 3. 



RULES FOR KNITTING. 6i 

Now you are at shells again. Narrow first and last stitches of each shell, 
knit rest plain (remember 3 seams between each shell) till j'ou reach the 
thumb again; 1 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, seam 3. This 
time the shells are knit plain. Knit thumb same again ; narrow first and 
last stitches of shells this time round ; knit plain till you get to thumb 
again ; knit thumb same before, shells plain this time ; now you have 7 
stitches in each shell. You widen thumb each time j'ou make holes in 
shells. Commence at thumb, seam 3, t over 1, 1 plain, t over 1, 3 plain, 
t over 1, 1 plain, seam 3. 

Shells — 1 plain, t over 1, 1 plain, t over 1, 1 plain, t over 1, 1 plain, 
t over 1, 1 plain, seam 3; repeat for shells; then knit plain to thumb. 
Now seam 3, 1 plain, seam 1,3 plain, seam 1, 1 plain, seam 3. Then 
narrow first and last stitches of each shell. Next round — thumb same, 
shells to be knit i)lain. Next round — thumb same, shells narrow. Next 
round — thumb same, shells plain. And so on till you have 7 stitches in 
each shell. Repeat these rounds till you have 25 stitches for the thumb 
between the two seamed lines of 3 stitches each ; carry back of hand along 
with shells as you have been doing. Take thumb ofl' on a thread. Cast 
on 14 extra stitches across thumb for a gusset, and carry 30ur 3 seam 
stitches along on both sides of gusset until it is finished ; then drop seam 
on inside of hand, but carry it each side of shells as far down the hand as 
3'ou continue the pattern. The gusset is to be narrowed by knitting to- 
gether the first 2 and last 2 of the 14 stitches everj' other round. Continue 
knitting all plain with the exception of the fancy stripes in back, until the 
hand is long enough, then decrease as follows : Beginning at corner of 
needle, 7 plain, narrow all round. 7 rounds plain. 6 ^jlain, narrow, all 
round. 6 rounds plain. 5 plain, narrow, all round, 5 rounds plain. 4 
plain, narrow, all round. 4 rounds plain. And so on until the end. 
When you take up the thumb take up also the 14 stitches and narrow them 
off as before to form other half of gusset. Knit about 54 plain rounds, 
then finish b}- narrowing once on each needle in every round till all the 
stitches are disposed of. 



62 RULES FOR KNITTING. 

Part VII— Miscellaneous. 



Lady's Knitted Boot. 

It is knitted of black knitting silk and sewed onto a cork sole. 

Begin on the under edge of the boot. Cast on 340 stitches on steel nee- 
dles, join and knit 126 plain rounds. In doing this always knit 3 together 
as 1 on the middle of the front of the foot in every other round of the first 
68 rounds. The stitch formed by knitting 3 together forms the middle 
stitch, and in narrowing this must always be knitted with the 2 stitches at 
each side of it. In the last 58 rounds narrow in this manner in every 
round. After the 126th round follows 68 rounds, alternately seam 2, 2 
plain ; then bind off. In the edge stitch crochet a border. 



Knitted Knee Protectors. 

This small-sized knee protector is worked with knitting silk crosswise in 
rounds going back and forth. The upper and lower part of the knee pro- 
tector is knit all plain. The gore is knit in a ribbed design of always al- 
ternately 2 plain, seam 2. 

Make a foundation of 98 stitches.

2d — Slip 1, 41 plain, seam 2, 2 plain, seam 2, 2 plain, seam 2, 2 plain, 
seam 2, 42 plain. 

Like these 2 rounds work 142 rounds more, but in the 17th, 21st, 25th, 
29th, 33d, 37th, 41st, 45th, 49th, 53d and 57th rounds widen 1 stitch each 
after the first 42 and before the last 42 stitches ; to do this knit 2 stitches 
on the corresponding stitch, working 1 plain, seam 1. Care should betak- 
en that the ribbed design is not broken. The 52d to 91st rounds are worked 
without changing the number of stitches. 

In the 92d, 96th, 100th, 104th, 108th, 112th, 116th. 120th, 124th, 126th 
and 128th rounds always narrow 1 stitch at the point where the 17th to 
58th rounds were widened. Knit the 129th to 144th rounds without chang- 
ing the number of stitches and then cast off, and crochet the ends of the 
knee protector together with one round of single crochet.

Compound Oxygen. 

"SPLENDID RESULTS." 

This is the decided affirmation of a gentleman in Troy, New York, after a month's 
trial of Compound Oxj'gen in his family, and the reader will agree with him after 
perusing the following account of the benefits received by the different members of 
his household. The great improvement in his wife's condition, after so brief a 
period of inhalation, is very remarkable indeed : 

" My wife had much soreness in her lungs, and a constant depressed feeling, as 
if a weight were laid upon them. We had just buried a daughter who had been 
nearlv a year sick with consumption, and constant care of her produced these inju- 
rious results. I felt much worried in consequence. Four days' use of the Treat- 
ment, and the appetite began to tnend. Tzvo weeks' and she felt like a different 
person. The soreness has almost entirely disappeared, and she can breathe 

DEEPER NOW THAN SHE H.\S BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR YE.\RS, and gOCS OUt in all 

weather. 

Besides my wife, other members of the family have used it as a general tonic 
WITH splendid results, and the verdict rendered by the family at large is, that it 
is a grand success. We are freely recommending it to others in whom we feel an 
interest. One of my children, a boy of twelve, always had a weakness which gave 
him much trouble. Since using the inhaler, he is entirely free of that trouble, and 
again we say it is a success. The whole family (except myself) have used it daily 
now about one month, and the bottle is not half emptied. Cheap as well as 
good. 

FROM A CLERGYMAN SEVENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE. 

A clergyman, in Cleveland, Ohio, seventy-one years of age, who had preached 
regularly nearly every Sunday for over fifteen years, says in a letter dated February 
8th, 1882, a few weeks after commencing the use of Compound Oxygen : 

" Mv strength was equal to the work until about a year ago, when I began to fail, 
and had come to the conclusion that my work, if not my life, was nearly at an end. 
But now 1 am qunTE a new man; yea, the revitalizer has introduced new life 
into my almost dead organs. I can say that I am well, Avith the exception of a 
little soreness in my throat. Allow me to give thanks, first to God, and then to 
you, for this blessed hour of health." 

'• SOMETHING WONDERFUL." 

A lady who had suffered for ten years with severe Neuralgia, Nervous Prostra- 
tion, and frequent attacks of Malaria, writes, after using two Treatments of Com- 
pound Oxygen : 

"My improvement since last May has been something wonderful; and I 
feel it a dutv and pleasure to acknowledge it to you privately. Though I do not 
wish my name used as a testimonial, I am al\vaj»s happy to recommend the use of 
Oxygen, as I have already done frequently to my friends." 

"ACTED LIKE MAGIC." 

In a case of Asthma, there is the following report from a gentleman, in Waupun, 
Wisconsin : 

" It is now three weeks since I began using the Compound Oxygen Ti"eatment, 
and the results are as follows : My Asthma h.\s disappeared entirely. Have 
not had an attack from the first day I began using it. It acted like magic. * * 
I am thankful to you for the relief your Treatment has given me, and the most I 
can say at present is, that it is a wonderful reliever of those choking spells one has 
who is aftected with Asthma." 

From the above it would seem that even the most despondent invalids and those 
whose condition has been supposed to be beyond i-emedy, may take courage and be 
of good cheer. For the most ample details in regard to Compound Oxygen, refer- 
ence should be made to the pamphlet issued by Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1109 and 
iiii Girard St., Philadelphia. On application by mail, this pamphlet will be sent

Dr. Foote— Deo/- Sir: The (•han^•e that has been wrought in my physical condition in 
a few months is simply ivouder/'til. There is scarcely an hour in the day in which I do 
not think gratefully of vou, and thank God that 1 was led to put my case in your hands. 
You can use mv name if Vou wish. I want poor suffering women to know that, after they 
have suffered manv things, of many i)liysicians. and are nothing bettered— but rather grow 
worse— Ihey can, " even at the ele^•enth hour," be cured b\ writing to Dr. Foote. 

Gratefully yours, Hattie E. Holman.

A gentleman who, when he first wrote to Dr. Foote, was dropsical, "sick-abed" and 
" given up," wrote recently : 

'■ My health continues first-rate; weigh from 100 to 170, and no signs of the return of the 
old kidney trouble, and it seems as though aftev tliiee years, it never would again ap- 
pear— thanks to your skilful treatment. H. B. Freeman, Mansfield, Ct."

Dr. Foote— Dear Sir: There is a vast difference between sister's condition now and 
wlien she commenced your treatment. She was hardly able to be u)) out of IkhI then, anil 
had gatherings break "from the fractured ril) about every t\\() weeks, which caus(;d great 
weakness, and she suffered very severely all the time with swelling, craniiis, chills and 
stiftuess of the limbs. All we were having done did not accomplish anything, but she was 
ifetting worse all the time. Her hnprorcinent Jms been more tha n ire eoultl Inoh- 
for. I am thankful vou con.xnted to take her case on the r(>as()uabl.' terms you did, for. ex- 
cept for vour kindness. >!„■ ,-,,uld not have had the treatment irliirli I /'ally believe 
has saved her life. The gatherings about the fractured rib slic has not had for some 
time; had thev continued she could not have lived uuicli longer in the condition she was in.
